Full textAbstract:
The reinforcing steel embedded in concrete is generally protected against corrosion by the high alkalinity (pH = 12.5 to 13.5) of the concrete pore solution. The structural degradation of concrete structures due to reinforcement’s corrosion has an impact on the safety, serviceability and durability of the structure. The corrosion of reinforcements in the construction of a transport infrastructure (especially bridges), parking areas, etc., is primarily initiated by chlorides from de-icing salts. When corrosion is initiated, active corrosion results in a volumetric expansion of the corrosion products around the reinforcing bars against the surrounding concrete. Reinforcement corrosion causes a volume increase due to the oxidation of metallic iron, which is mainly responsible for exerting the expansive radial pressure at the steel–concrete interface and development of hoop tensile stresses in the surrounding concrete. When this tensile stress exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete, cracks are generated. Higher corrosion rates can lead to the cracking and spalling of the concrete cover. Continued corrosion of reinforcement causes a reduction of total loss of bond between concrete and reinforcement.

Corrosion is one of the leading sources of material failure and deterioration in society. Scholars have proposed different techniques to mitigate corrosion. This research study explores and validates one of these techniques. An Aluminium metal matrix (AMC) was produced using the stir casting method with various weight percentages of AgNp and CaCO3 reinforcements. Heat treatment was performed on the samples to enhance the metallurgical and corrosion properties of the materials. The corrosion rate of the AMC samples was tested in different corrosive media (neutral and acidic) with different concentrations using the weight loss analysis technique for several days. It was observed that the corrosion rate of the AMC relies on the nature of the electrolyte and the percentage concentration of this electrolyte. The heat treatment improves the corrosion resistance of the AMC samples. In addition, an increase in the % weight composition of the reinforcement (AgNp + CaCO3) results in a reduction in the corrosion rate of the AMC in both corrosive media. The optimal %weight composition was found to be 4% for the hybrid reinforcement of AgNp + CaCO3 and 6% for the CaCO3 reinforcement in both the untreated and heat-treated samples.

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscop (EIS) and polarization curve technique, the electrochemical behavior of prestressed reinforcement under different stress levels was studied in simulated concrete solution. The results show that: As the stress increasing, the impedance spectroscopy changes significantly, the entire impedance spectroscopy shows an elongated semi-circular deformation, high-frequency capacitance arc radius corrosion decreases with the corrosion progress, in other words, the reaction resistance decreases, the corrosion rate of the sample increases. And when the galvanized steel is in 1064MPa stresss condition, corrosion current density reaches the maximum, is 9 times larger than that of none stress corrosions condition. Under the combined effects of the external stress and corrosive media, dislocation can be emitted, value-added and moves. When it reached a critical state, it would lead to the crack nucleation of Stress corrosion cracking (SCC).

The corrosion of reinforcement is the major cause of damage of reinforced concrete structures. This has an impact on safety, serviceability and durability of the structure. The corrosion of steel in concrete reduces the cross sectional area of the reinforcement and decreases the bond between reinforcement and concrete. Corrosion products have a higher volume than steel, which produces internal stresses that lead to the cracking and spalling of the concrete cover. The paper analyses the effect of the chloride-initiated corrosion of reinforcements on bond behaviour.

This article presents the results of a study on the corrosion characteristics of the single and dual particle reinforced aluminum alloy 6063 based composites. The reinforcements of silicon carbide and zircon sand were utilized to fabricate the composites by stir casting technique. The influence of reinforcement and their weight percentage on the hardness variations was investigated. The electrochemical tests in sodium chloride solution were conducted to study the corrosion performance of reinforced composites and base alloy. From the corrosion analysis, it was observed that the single particle reinforcement offered better solution on enhancing the corrosion resistance of base aluminum alloy in comparison with dual particle reinforced composites. In the single particle reinforced composites, addition of zircon sand exhibited increased corrosion resistance, when compared to silicon carbide reinforced composites. The governing mechanism behind increased corrosion resistance was found to be the absence of galvanic coupling between the elemental compounds and the corrosive media at particle–matrix interface. The scanning electron microscopy of composites was performed to analyze corrosion mechanism and correlated well with the corrosion behavior.

A load carrying capacity of the reinforced concrete (RC) member is degraded by the corrosion of reinforcing steel bars due to chloride ion ingress. A lot of researches on the effect of corrosion in the longitudinal tensile reinforcing steel bars on the load carrying behavior have been available up to now. Accurate and quantitative estimation of capacity, however, is often difficult, because of the non-uniformity of corrosion in the member. Thus, a relationship between the spatial distribution of corrosion in the reinforcement including its scatter and the flexural loading capacity of RC member with such distribution of corrosion should be clarified so that the flexural capacity of corroded RC member can be estimated accurately. On the other hand, in case of the practical RC member under the corrosive environment, it should be considered that the flexural capacity often have to be derived from not a large number of inspection data on cross sectional areas of corroded reinforcements. So, in this study, a flexural loading test was performed by using RC beam specimens with the corroded tensile reinforcements provided the distribution of sectional areas. An estimation method of the flexural capacity of corroded RC beam was also shown, considering the distribution and its scatter in sectional areas of corroded reinforcements under the limited inspection data. Furthermore, the estimation of the longitudinal distribution of the cross sectional area of corroded reinforcement was performed by the spatial interpolation using Kriging method. Test results showed the yield and maximum load capacity in the corroded RC beam decreased as the corrosion rate increased. The failure mode of rupture in the reinforcement was shown in the large corrosion. The proposed estimation method was able to lead the safe evaluation of those experimental flexural capacities, determining the appropriate longitudinal characteristic value of the cross sectional area of corroded reinforcement. The flexural capacity can be also safely calculated using the characteristic value of diameters estimated by the corrosion crack width on the surface of the concrete, while the ratio of the experimental flexural capacity to the estimated one decreased as the corrosion loss increased. The distribution of bar diameters in the corroded reinforcement was able to be roughly estimated by using Kriging method. However, it was suggested that the measurement points close to the minimum bar diameter should be included to estimate the flexural capacity on the safe side.

It is inevitable for steel reinforcement to be corroded when mixed with seawater-and-seasand concrete. In order to improve steel corrosion protection properties of seawater-and-seasand concrete, reduce the chloride ion’s attack on steel reinforcement in structural concrete and lengthen the steel reinforcement’s service time, this paper presents an experimental study on whether admixtures like fly ash, slag and metakaolin in the seawater-and-seasand could retard the corrosion to steel reinforcement and provide protection to steel reinforcement in seawater-and-seasand concrete. The results indicated that metakaolin had a significant anti-corrosion effect and greatly enhanced the steel corrosion protection properties of seawater-and-seasand concrete whereas both fly ash and slag did not appear to have any obvious influence on curbing the corrosion of steel reinforcement.

Abstract This paper studies the influence of the corrosion degree calculated by the mass loss and by the smaller diameters on the yield strength, ultimate strength and final elongation. Reinforcements buried and naturally corroded for 60 years were studied. The mechanical properties of the protruding reinforcing steel were compared to reference bars, which also remained buried for 60 years, but without going through the corrosion process. Micrographs, besides the chemical composition and the characterization of the aggressiveness of the soil were realized. The micrographs and the chemical composition show the presence of pits in the reinforcements and sulfur contents for steel above the prescriptions of the time when the foundations were initially implement, respectively. The results also show that the effects of pitting corrosion on the mechanical properties of the naturally corroded bars may not be adequately expressed by the mass loss. This type of corrosion (pits) produces geometric variations in the cross sections along the length of the test specimens, generating stress gradients between successive sections. This has a noticeable impact on the mechanical properties of the reinforcements. In general, the effects of corrosion are more pronounced on the ductility of the reinforcement. Regarding the aggressiveness of the soil, high corrosion rates were identified in the reinforcement, even with the soil being classified as essentially non-corrosive.

The reinforcing steel embedded in concrete is generally protected against corrosion by the high alkalinity (pH = 12.5 to 13.5) of the concrete pore solution. The structural degradation of concrete structures due to reinforcement’s corrosion has an impact on the safety, serviceability and durability of the structure. The corrosion of reinforcements in the construction of a transport infrastructure (especially bridges), parking areas, etc., is primarily initiated by chlorides from de-icing salts. Glass fiber reinforcement polymer (GFRP) bars are suitable alternatives to steel bars in reinforced concrete applications. The bond between concrete and reinforcement is one of the basic requirements for the composite action of both materials. The transfer of forces between the steel reinforcement and the concrete is provided by the following mechanisms: adhesion, friction and mechanical interlocking. The bond between GFRP reinforcement and concrete is different and it is ensured by friction and mechanical interlocking of the rebar surface. The chemical bond does not originate between GFRP reinforcement and the surrounding concrete, so adhesion does not contribute to transfer of the bond forces. Some few test methods are used to determine the bond between GFRP reinforcement and concrete. The pull-out tests were used to determine the bond behavior between GFRP rebars and concrete. This paper describes the preparation, process, results and evaluation of the pull-out tests.

Two types of steel reinforcement depassivation process: carbonation of concrete and chloride penetration are considered in the article. The comparison between the corrosion due to carbonation of concrete and the chloride-induced corrosion was carried out. It was found out, that chlorides induced corrosion is potentially more dangerous than that resulting from carbonation. Method of durable tests of reinforced concrete structures under the action of the gravitational load and the corrosive chloride environment is described in the article. The results of experimental research on reinforced concrete structures with corrosive damages to steel reinforcement are given in the article. The properties of corrosion cracking in the case of the pitting corrosion were determined. The character of corrosive damage distribution along the reinforcement bars and its effect on the strength of reinforced concrete beams were determined.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to reduce the cost, limit the time and increase raw material source availability, coral aggregate seawater concrete (CASC) composed of coral, coral sand, seawater and cement can be widely used for the construction of ports, levees, airports and roads to achieve practical engineering values. However, the naturally porous coral structure and abundant Cl− in the seawater and coral lead to extremely severe reinforcement corrosion for CASC. It is well known that Cl− is the main cause of reinforcement corrosion in the marine environment. Therefore, it is necessary to research the reinforcement corrosion of CASC in the marine environment. Design/methodology/approach In this study, linear polarization resistance was adopted to test the linear polarization curves of reinforcement in CASC with different exposure times. Ecorr, Rp, Icorr and Vcorr were calculated according to the weak electrochemical polarization theory and Stern–Geary formula. The effects of concrete cover thickness, exposure time, reinforcement types and inhibitor on reinforcement corrosion in CASC were analysed. The reinforcement corrosion degradation rule was determined, which provided theoretical support for the durability improvement, security assessment, service life prediction and service quality control of CASC structures in marine islands and reef engineering. Findings The corrosion resistance was enhanced with increased concrete cover thickness, and the concrete cover thickness for organic new coated steel should be at least 5.5 cm to reduce the reinforcement corrosion risks in CASC structures. The corrosion resistance of different types of reinforcements followed the rule: 2205 duplex stainless steel > 316 stainless steel > organic new coated steel > zinc-chromium coated steel > common steel. In the early exposure stage, the anti-corrosion effectiveness of the calcium nitrate inhibitor (CN) was superior to that for the amino alcohol inhibitor (AA). With the extension of exposure time, the decreasing rate of anticorrosion effectiveness of CN was higher than that of AA. Originality/value Reinforcement corrosion of CASC in a marine environment was studied. Concrete cover thickness, exposure time, reinforcement type and inhibitor influenced the reinforcement corrosion were investigated. New technique of reinforcement anti-corrosion in marine engineering was proposed. Possible applications of CASC in marine engineering structures were suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The quality and durability of the concrete structures are affected by many degradation processes. The reliability of existing bridge structures is significantly affected by numerous factors, from which the reinforcement and structural steel corrosion, together with effect of traffic action, are the most important. Corrosion is the destructive attack on metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment. In the case of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, the most known degradation process is corrosion of reinforcement. RC members have to fulfill the conditions given in Eurocode [1, 2]. Horizontal beams are mainly subjected to bending and shear. The paper deals with reinforcement corrosion of main longitudinal reinforcements (reinforcement against bending) and its influence on the moment resistance of the existing bridge concrete structures. The two types of active stage calculation of corrosion were considered in this paper. The length of passive stage was not known, so it was calculated backwards.

Full textAbstract:
Steel reinforcement corrosion is always one of the most significant incentives of concrete structure deterioration, especially under severe chloride erosion environment. In order to describe the whole process of concrete deterioration induced by reinforcement corrosion, the mechanism of rust expansion and crack propagation in concrete was analyzed from the perspective of elastoplastic mechanics and fracture mechanics firstly, and experimental study was carried out to use vibrating wire strain gauges for monitoring corrosion-induced concrete deterioration process. The mechanism analysis of corrosion-induced concrete deterioration indicates that the degradation process of cover concrete can be divided into aggressive medium transmission process, free corrosive expansion process, corrosive expansion stress development process, corrosive expansion crack generation and propagation process, and vibrating wire strain gauges can be used to monitor corrosion-induced cover concrete stress development, crack initiation and propagation process along with the procedure of reinforcement corrosion. The test curve seems to be generally consistent with that of the theoretic analysis, and the signals captured by vibrating wire strain gauges can successfully reflect the durability degradation process of reinforced concrete structure under severe erosion environment.

Full textAbstract:
Concrete is used as a structural material for construction of buildings, jetties, harbors, etc. in many coastal and marine locations. The reinforcement used in concrete is susceptible to corrosion, resulting in loss of steel area, loss of bond, expansion of the reinforcement volume leading to cracking or spalling of concrete. Marine environment induces higher corrosion of reinforcement, compared to in-land locations. Concrete exposed to tidal fluctuations, or to the action of waves and currents are among the most severely affected. Corrosion of reinforcement in concrete is of major concern in coastal and marine environment. Control and monitoring of corrosion is a big challenge to engineers. In the recent years, different investigators reported their studies in this area. Depending on the severity of the exposure conditions, different corrosion inhibitors and protection methods have been attempted with varying degrees of success. The present article presents a generic review of the corrosion issues in marine concrete. Drawing from the experiences of the various researchers, the corrosion measurements, and corrosion control schemes, including use of coated reinforcements and corrosion inhibitors are discussed. The durability performance based design of concrete in the probabilistic framework and the life cycle cost analysis for durability design decisions have been identified as the future direction of corrosion protection of coastal and marine structures.

This paper researches law of reinforcement corrosion under chloride environment based on method the simulated accelerated test. Test the self-corrosion current density and electrode potential quantitative index of concrete reinforcement under chloride environment and establish quantitative model of corrosion time and reinforcement corrosion quantity by means of advanced linear polarization method and electrochemical testing method. Corroded reinforcement weight loss ratio under chloride environment is detected in physical way, combined with reinforcement corrosion layer microstructure and composition characteristics detected by scanning electron microscope. Both of the above deeply reveals corrosion mechanism and corrosion characteristics of the reinforcement. Corrosion rate theoretical model and statistical model have been revised. The research results prove that reinforcement corrosion rate has increased by an average of 4-5 times under chloride environment, weight loss ratio has increased by 15% compared with that under no-chloride environment, and due to chlorine’s effect, partial and uneven corrosion rust layer appears on surface of the reinforcement, which will be the direct cause of inducing accelerating corrosion of reinforcement at the later stage.

The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete has been reported as one of the main durability problems of reinforced concrete (RC) structures exposed to chloride, carbonation or both. To investigate the structural performances of RC structures subjected to corrosive exposure, the corrosion of rebars embedded in concrete is accelerated to induce a targeted degree of reinforcement corrosion in a short time duration. Several earlier researchers have attempted to develop a setup to induce the accelerated corrosion of steel bars in concrete structures. However, the induced corrosion has not been simulative of the naturally occurring corrosion of steel in concrete, causing a lack of accuracy in the test results. In this study, an attempt was made to develop a novel approach that could be utilized to induce required degrees of reinforcement corrosion following a natural pattern. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed setup and procedure of introducing uniform reinforcement corrosion, RC beam specimens were designed, cast, and corroded to three different corrosion levels. After inducing reinforcement corrosion, the beams were tested under flexural stress, and then the corroded bars were extracted to measure the mass loss due to corrosion. The visual inspection and gravimetric and flexural test results showed the capability of the proposed corrosion setup and procedure to induce the targeted uniform corrosion of steel bars, simulating a real-life scenario and facilitating the evaluation of the effect of reinforcement corrosion on the flexural performances of RC beams with very high accuracy.

Full textAbstract:
As it is widely known, corrosion constitutes a major deterioration factor for reinforced concrete structures which are located in coastal areas. This phenomenon, combined with repeated loads and, especially, intense seismic events, negatively affect their useful service life. It is well known that the microstructure of steel reinforcing bars has a significant impact either on their corrosion resistance or on their fatigue life. In the present manuscript, an effort has been made to study the effect of corrosive factors on fatigue response for two types of steel reinforcement: Tempcore steel B reinforcing bars and a new-generation, dual-phase (DP) steel F reinforcement. The findings of this experimental study showed that DP steel reinforcement’s rate of degradation due to corrosion seemed apparently lighter than Tempcore B with respect to its capacity to bear repeated loads to a satisfactory degree after corrosion. For this purpose, based on a quality material index that characterizes the mechanical performance of materials, an extended damage material indicator for fatigue conditions is similarly proposed for evaluating and classifying these two types of rebars in terms of material quality and durability. The outcomes of this investigation demonstrated the feasibility of fatigue damage indicators in the production cycle as well as at different exposure times, once corrosion phenomena had left their mark in steel reinforcement.

Full textAbstract:
The volume expansion of reinforcement corrosion products resulting from the corrosion of steel reinforcement embedded into concrete causes the concrete’s protective layer to crack or spall, reducing the durability of the concrete structure. Thus, it is necessary to analyze concrete cracking caused by reinforcement corrosion. This study focused on the occurrence of non-uniform reinforcement corrosion in a natural environment. The characteristics of the rust layer were used to deduce the unequal radial displacement distribution function of concrete around both angular and non-angular bars. Additionally, the relationship between the corrosion ratio and the radial displacement of the concrete around the bar was established quantitatively. Concrete cracking due to the non-uniform corrosion of reinforcements was simulated using steel bars embedded in concrete that were of uneven displacement because of rust expansion. The distribution of the principal tensile stress around the bar was examined. A formula for calculating the critical radial displacement at the point when cracking began was obtained and used to predict the corrosion ratio of the concrete cover. The determined analytical corrosion ratio agreed well with the test result. The effect factor analysis based on the finite element method indicated that increasing the concrete strength and concrete cover thickness delays concrete cracking and that the adjacent rebar causes the stress superposition phenomenon.

This study was carried out to investigate quantitatively the relationship between the degree of reinforcement corrosion and the mechanical properties of reinforcement. In the experiment, the tensile test of corroded reinforcement was conducted at the different stage of the degree of reinforcement corrosion. As a result, it was found that the chloride-induced corrosion induce the pitting and the corrosion using electrical current induce the uniform corrosion. As the degree of reinforcement corrosion increased, the nominal yield point and nominal elastic modulus both decreased. Also, there were very high correlations between the degree of reinforcement corrosion and the mechanical properties of reinforcement. We could make the material constitutive laws for the mechanical properties of reinforcement as a function of the degree of reinforcement corrosion to analyze the damaged RC members with reinforcement corrosion using finite element method.

Full textAbstract:
Concrete bridge decks in corrosive environments have used several methods to prevent corrosion of the reinforcing steel including the use of alternative steels as reinforcement. While research has been conducted on corrosion resistance, very little information is available about the bond strength of alternative metallic reinforcement such as solid stainless steels and high-strength, high-chromium (HSHC) alloys. Therefore, the tensile bond strengths of three alternative metallic steel reinforcements in concrete are compared with conventional A615 Grade 60 steel reinforcement. Two types of stainless steel were considered, 316LN and 2205 duplex. An HSHC microcomposite bar was also considered. A total of 250 bond tests were performed with beam-end specimens similar to the ASTM A944 specimen. Bonded lengths of 4 to 12 in. were used for No. 4 and No. 6 reinforcing bars. Concrete clear cover for all tests was 1½ in. to produce cracking bond failure. No transverse reinforcement was present. The normal strength concrete was typical of that used in Michigan bridge decks. Statistical comparisons of bond test results with predicted values for bond strength of A615 reinforcement revealed there was no reason to believe the bond strength of the alternative metallic reinforcing bars was less than predicted. The conservatism of the current development-length relationships generally predicted lower bond strengths than were observed. Therefore, no modifications are suggested when estimating the development length of these reinforcements as a one-to-one replacement for A615 Grade 60 reinforcement, No. 4 to No. 6 bars, using standard development-length relationships.

Anaerobic corrosion of steel reinforcement is rarely reported and limited literature is available on the subject. Corrosion of steel is an electrochemical process requiring a supply of oxygen in the presence of moisture. Steel corrosion product usually occupies a much larger volume than the un-corroded steel resulting in cracked or spalled concrete. If the supply of oxygen is restricted, black rust may be formed by the process of anaerobic corrosion. Black rust is not expansive, which makes it particularly difficult to detect in reinforced concrete. This paper presents a case study of anaerobic corrosion in the Mizen Bridge, together with an in-depth review of anaerobic corrosion of reinforcement in concrete, outlining black rust formation, characteristics and detection methods.

In this work, the microstructure characteristics of corrosion products of reinforcement under a corrosive environment with chloride, carbonation and the combination of chloride-carbonization were studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy/energy spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results indicate that the outside of the passivation film reacts with the cement slurry to produce Fe–SiO4 in all three corrosive environments. The inner side is not completely corroded. The morphology of the corrosion is different in the three environments. In a chloride environment, corrosion products have obvious cracks, and the local layered structure is dense. In a carbonation environment, the surface of the steel corrosion shows a uniform granular structure and loose texture. With the combination of chloride and combination, the surface of the structural layer of steel corrosion was uneven and accompanied by protrusions, cracking and spalling occurred. The composition of the corrosion substances in the three corrosion environments are mainly composed of FeO, Fe3O4, Fe2O3 and Fe–SiO4. The content of iron oxide increases from a chloride salt, carbonization to the composite environment, indicating that the corrosion degree intensifies successively.

It’s possible to use the model for prediction of the remaining strength life of RC structures.

In order to understand the influence of the tensile stress on the corrosion of reinforcement bars in civil engineering, the reinforcement bars specimens were put into the liquid corrosion tank made of hydrochloric acid and distilled water by applying the tension stress on the reinforcing frame to carry out rapid corrosion. The corrosion of reinforcement bars under different tension stresses was tested by using electrochemical polarization method. The metallographic examination of reinforcement bars was carried out through the section of reinforcement bars. The corrosion mechanism of the stressed reinforcement bar was tested and analyzed. It can be known from the experimental study: First in the same corrosion condition, the larger the tensile stress is, the faster the corrosion of steel bar will be; Second corrosion current density or corrosion rate are index for evaluating corrosion rate of reinforcement bars with different tensile stresses. Corrosion potential can not be used as an index for evaluating corrosion rate of reinforcement bars with different tensile stresses; Third intercrystalline corrosion occurs inside the reinforcement bar due to micro-defects after rolling and moulding, which directly affects the mechanical properties of reinforcement bar.

Corrosion of reinforcements has been one of the major challenges that the civil engineers have been facing. Corrosion leads to the formation of rust which results in the spalling of concrete which in turn leads to the exposure of rebars to the aggressive environment. This will accelerate the ill effects and ultimately leads to the breakdown of the structure. Corrosion mainly occurs in areas of aggressive environment such as coastal regions. It was discovered that structures such as highways, bridge decks, parking ramps and marine installations, designed to last from 50 to 100 years, required replacement or extensive repairs in just 10 years. The problem was found to be the absorption of airborne pollutants, acids and chloride salts through the surface which eventually found their way to the reinforcing steel, causing it to corrode. It is very important that corrosion of reinforcement must be prevented in order to have a durable structure. Even though there are many methods to prevent corrosion, most of them are uneconomical and requires great skill. Studies on corrosion of reinforcement in various parts of the world have revealed that High Volume Fly Ash (HVFA) concrete can protect the steel reinforcement effectively, so that it can resist corrosion, and thus the structure as a whole. Similarly coating of rebars is the best and cheapest solution for corrosion attack, because prevention is better than cure. Epoxy coated reinforcement rebar can be used in construction to protect steel more efficiently from corrosion. Epoxy coating works by preventing chlorides and moisture reaching the surface of the steel. So, it is the most practical and scientific way for protecting the steel reinforcement against corrosion effect. This paper reviews the HVFA concrete with fusion bonded epoxy coated rebars is the solution for corrosion effect.

Full textAbstract:
Fe52Cr15Mo26C3B1Y3 amorphous particle-reinforced pure aluminum (Al) matrix composite was prepared by powder metallurgy. The ferrum (Fe)-based amorphous particles prepared by atomization method have good amorphous structure, and the circular reinforcement particles are evenly distributed in the Al matrix. The composite has high strength, hardness, and excellent corrosion resistance. The hardness of the composite increases gradually with the increase in the content of the reinforcement, from 46 Vickers hardness (HV) of pure Al to 220.5 HV, with remarkable effect. The tensile strength of the composite increases first and then decreases with the increase in the content of the reinforcement. When the content of reinforcement is 15%, the maximum tensile strength is 234 MPa, which is 154% higher than that of pure Al. The fracture mode of the composite is the mixture of plastic fracture and brittle fracture. The corrosion resistance of pure Al is significantly improved by the addition of reinforcements, which shows that the composite has a smaller corrosion current density and a more positive corrosion potential than that of pure Al.

Full textAbstract:
To accurately obtain the performance of concrete structures in coastal regions, it is necessary to correctly understand the damage evolution law of reinforced concrete (RC) members under real working conditions. In this paper, four RC beams, subjected to different levels of corrosion and sustained load, are first tested. Reinforcement corrosion coupled with sustained load increases the number and width of cracks at the soffit of beams but decreases their loading capacities. Crack width of the corroded beam under 50% of designed load is two times of that under 30% of designed load. Residual loading capacities of the corroded beams subjected to 30% and 50% of designed load are 87.5% and 81.8% of the control beam. A finite element model is developed for the corroded RC beams. Due to less confinement, concrete below and at the sides of reinforcements is subjected to a higher stress, compared to concrete above the reinforcements. Corrosion expansion of reinforcements is successfully modelled by a temperature-filed method, as it properly simulates the damage evolution of the corroded RC beams. As a result, concrete cracking, caused by the reinforcement corrosion, is well captured. Coupling reinforcement corrosion with sustained load significantly increases the damage level in RC beams, particularly for those subjected to a high sustained load. The whole damage evolution process of concrete cracking due to corrosion expansion under the coupling effect of sustained loading and environment can be simulated, thus providing a reference for the durability evaluation, life prediction, and numerical simulation of concrete structure.

Abstract The paper discusses existing reinforcement, future reinforcement and new technologies for concrete pipes used in the sewage systems. Concrete pipes currently in use and under investigation are reviewed. Structural fibres, as the main reinforcement of concrete pipes, are known as an attractive alternative to the traditional steel bars. Steel, synthetic and basalt fibres have been considered. The latest research and mechanical properties of individual fibres are presented. Advances in fibre-reinforced concrete provide a new basis for the design of more efficient concrete pipes, especially those resistant to biological corrosion and with a longer service life. In the article, future non-corrosive reinforcement due to the reduction of steel reinforcement and corrosion protection linings has been proposed.

Among the pathological manifestations associated with reinforced concrete, corrosion of the reinforcement is one of the most serious issues since it is related to the durability of the structures and the safety of the users. Although the reinforcement in the structural components is protected by a covering layer, carbonation or the presence of chlorides in the concrete generates necessary conditions for corrosion of the reinforcement. This causes a reduction in the cross section and the generation of products that, due to their volumetric expansion, cause cracks in the interior of the concrete. This work evaluates the effects of corrosion on mechanical properties of corroded reinforcements through accelerated conditions in the laboratory. Steel bars installed inside cylindrical concrete specimens are subjected to accelerated corrosion, immersed in a saline solution with the application of an electric current for periods of 1, 3, 5 and 7 d. After corrosion, the steel bars are removed and their weight loss, degree of corrosion and tensile strength are evaluated. The results demonstrate an increased degree of corrosion with exposure time to the saline solution and the non-uniform reduction of the tensile strength of the bars due to the formation of corrosion pits with varying depth along the bar.

The construction of subways, hydroelectric stations and water substations is exposed to stray currents, which can accelerate concrete corrosion. The influence of stray currents on reinforced concrete structures is unclear. In this paper, the influence of concrete strength grade, reinforcement diameter and stray current intensity on the extent of reinforcement corrosion and calcium ion dissolution were investigated, and the damage of reinforcement and calcium ion corrosion to concrete strength was investigated by simulating a stray current environment and conducting an electrified acceleration test. The test results show that the higher the strength grade of concrete, the lower the stray current intensity and the smaller the corrosion rate and calcium ion dissolution rate of reinforcement; with the increase in the diameter of reinforcement the corrosion rate decreases, but the calcium ion dissolution rate is not affected by reinforcement diameter. The damage effect of reinforcement corrosion on concrete compressive strength is more obvious than that of calcium ion corrosion.

Surface composites are developed on Mg RZ 5 alloy by friction stir processing. During FSP, hard reinforcements are introduced into the matrix of RZ 5 alloy and dispersed uniformly by mechanical stirring action. The reinforcements dispersed were boron carbide, carbon nanotubes (multi-walled) and an 80:20 mixture of zirconia and alumina particles. Dynamic recrystallization and grain boundary pinning action by reinforcement particles resulted in the generation of fine-grained surface composites. Corrosion characteristics of the base material and the surface composites are studied by potentiodynamic polarization technique. The corrosion rates estimated for the surface composites are found to be far lesser than the base material while their polarization resistances were higher than the base material. Among all surface composites, B4C particle reinforced surface composites exhibited the lowest corrosion rate of [Formula: see text]15 mpy. Reduction in the corrosion rate of the surface composites is influenced by fine-grained microstructure and presence of harder reinforcement particles.

In this work, the silicon carbide (SiC) and titanium diboride (TiB2) reinforced as-cast Zn-Al-Cu alloy-based hybrid composites were produced with ultrasonic-assisted stir casting. The corrosion behavior of as-cast Zn-Al-Cu/TiB2/SiC hybrid composites with varying 0, 5, 10, and 15 weight percent of SiC + TiB2 particulates in Zn-Al-Cu matrix alloy was investigated in this study, The effect of additional reinforcements content on the corrosion behavior of hybrid composites with respect to Zn-Al-Cu alloy was investigated. The corrosion rate of hybrid composites was taken by using potentiodynamic polarization equipment (with 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution). The potentiodynamic polarization test findings showed that the hybrid composites’ uniform and localized corrosion resistances were enhanced by the addition of dual reinforcements. As the weight fraction of the SiC/TiB2 reinforcement increases, weak microgalvanic cells that form between the constituent phases of the fabricated as-cast Zn-Al-Cu hybrid composites weaken, improving their resistance to uniform and localized corrosion. The results revealed that the corrosion rate values were reduced to 28.88% at 15% of reinforcement when compared to the base alloy.

ABSTRACT
Early steel bars corrosion in reinforced concrete elements is difficult to detect because of the lack of visible changes on the concrete surface. To assess reinforcement corrosion risk level without structure damage some non-destructive diagnostic methods are applied. One of them is the galvanostatic pulse method. This semi-non-destructive electrochemical method allows to determine the corrosion areas and estimate the steel bars corrosion activity. Using this method it is possible to measure some electrical parameters (corrosion current density, stationary potential and reinforcement concrete cover resistivity) that allow to indirectly estimate the reinforcement corrosion progress in concrete. So far this method has been generally applied to bridges. The article presents results of studies in which the galvanostatic pulse method was used to determine reinforcement corrosion risk in structures elements different than bridges. Two types of reinforced concrete columns were tested under different environment conditions and two groups of laboratory specimens which were subjected to freezing and thawing cycles in NaCl solution or stayed in natural air–dry conditions. The apparatus GP-5000 GalvaPulseTM was used. Based on the obtained results the conclusions were drawn. The galvanostatic pulse method allows to assess the progress of the reinforcement corrosion process in tested elements. However, it is necessary to measure simultaneously all parameters and make their complex analysis.
RESUMEN
La corrosión temprana de las barras de acero en elementos de hormigón armado es difícil de detectar debido a la falta de cambios visibles en la superficie del hormigón. Para evaluar el nivel de riesgo de corrosión de la armadura sin dañar la estructura se aplican algunos métodos de diagnóstico no destructivos. Uno de ellos es el método del pulso galvanostático. Este método electroquímico semi no destructivo permite determinar las áreas de corrosión y estimar la actividad de corrosión de las barras de acero. Utilizando este método es posible medir algunos parámetros eléctricos (densidad de corriente de corrosión, potencial estacionario y resistividad de la cubierta del hormigón de la armadura) que permiten estimar indirectamente el progreso de la corrosión de la armadura en el hormigón. Hasta ahora este método se ha aplicado generalmente a los puentes. El artículo presenta los resultados de estudios en los que se utilizó el método de impulsos galvanostáticos para determinar el riesgo de corrosión de las armaduras en elementos de estructuras diferentes a los puentes. Se ensayaron dos tipos de columnas de hormigón armado en diferentes condiciones ambientales y dos grupos de probetas de laboratorio que se sometieron a ciclos de congelación y descongelación en solución de NaCl o permanecieron en condiciones naturales de secado al aire. Se utilizó el aparato GP-5000 GalvaPulseTM. A partir de los resultados obtenidos se extrajeron las siguientes conclusiones El método de impulsos galvanostáticos permite evaluar el progreso del proceso de corrosión de la armadura en los elementos ensayados. Sin embargo, es necesario medir simultáneamente todos los parámetros y realizar su complejo análisis.

The mechanisms of reinforcement corrosion in concrete are the subject of extensive research. Although reliable methods for predicting the corrosive deterioration of concrete structures do not yet exist. This paper describes the durability problem of reinforced concrete bridges based on the mechanisms of carbonation depth or chloride profile. The deterioration model considering concrete carbonation, chloride penetration and concrete cover cracking is adopted to describe the service life of concrete structures. The corrosion models include environmental conditions, concrete carbonation or chloride diffusion rates, quality of concrete cover, steel corrosion rates and many other factors that make the predicting of service life of structures extremely difficult. Finally, the author gives the details of the methods of durabilio/ verification and the proposals for its including in the national standards and practical guides.

Full textAbstract:
Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete leads to the premature failure of many structures exposed to harsh environments. Rust products form on the bar, expanding its volume and creating stress in the surrounding concrete. In this study we will present how metal acts into an aggressive environment and how we can adopt the best solutions to reduce the attack of corrosion. First we should understand how corrosion occurs. Corrosion occurs when two different metals, or metals in different environments, are electrically connected in a moist or damp concrete. This will occur when: steel reinforcement is in contact with an aluminium conduit; concrete pore water composition varies between adjacent or along reinforcing bars; where there is a variation in alloy composition between or along reinforcing bars; where there is a variation in residual/applied stress along or between reinforcing bars. Loss of alkalinity due to carbonation or chlorides, crack due to mechanical loading, stray currents, agents from atmospheric pollution, moisture pathways, low concrete tensile strength, electrical contact with dissimilar metals are some of the most important reasons of corrosion. Electro-chemical corrosion, which plays a subordinate role in air, is of greater significance in liquids. The extent of electro-chemical corrosion depends on the electrical conductivity of the liquid, which affects the protective influence of the zinc layer over greater or smaller areas. The pH value of the liquid is of most significance. The corrosion rate of zinc is normally low and stable in the pH range of 5,5—12,5, at temperatures between 0 and 20 °C. Corrosion outside this range is usually more rapid. Hard water, which contains lime and magnesium, is less aggressive than soft water. Together with carbon dioxide these substances form sparingly soluble carbonates on the zinc surface, protecting the zinc against further corrosion. Soft water often attacks zinc, since the absence of salts means that the protective layer cannot be formed. In some waters, polarity reversal can occur at about 70 °C so that the zinc coating becomes more electro-positive than the steel and pitting occurs. Oxygen, sulphates and chlorides counteract polarity reversal, which means that the problem may exist only in very clean water. Water temperature is of great significance to the rate of corrosion. Above approximately 55 °C, the layer-forming corrosion products acquire a coarse-grained structure and lose adhesion to the zinc surface. They are easily dislodged and expose new, fresh zinc for continued and rapid corrosion attack. The rate of corrosion reaches a maximum at about 70 °C, after which it declines so that at 100 °C it is about the same as at 50 °C. Keywords : composite materials, corrosion, reinforcement, water corrosion, reinforcement bars.

Reinforcement corrosion is considered as one of the most important parameters determining the service life of reinforced concrete structures. In this study, an alternative method that protects reinforced concrete reinforcements against the effects of corrosion has been examined. Within the scope of the study, in addition to the traditionally produced reference reinforced concrete samples, reinforced concrete samples produced with mineral additive cement slurry coated reinforcements were prepared. In addition to silica fume at 30% of the cement amount by mass, blast furnace slag at 25% and 50% of the cement amount was used in mineral added cement slurries. According to the test results, it was determined that the slurry coating application decreased the corrosion potential values and the corrosion current density values of the reinforcements in the samples exposed to the wetting and drying cycles in the sodium chloride environment.

Among the leading consequences of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures (RCS) the cross section reduction in steel bars should be mentioned, coupled to a decay of their mechanical material properties. This paper recalls the main literature findings on the topic and describes a wide collected database of experimental tensile tests performed on naturally corroded reinforcements. The principal predictive degradation laws available in the scientific literature to assess the residual mechanical properties of the corroded reinforcements are synthesized. A first attempt to evaluate the reliability of the literature decay laws to simulate the mechanical performance of naturally corroded steel reinforcement subjected to both uniform and pitting corrosion is performed. Finally, some remarks are suggested on both the tested naturally corroded steel reinforcement and the available degradation laws.

AbstractIn Europe, stainless steel rebars have been used since the mid-80s, whilst in North America, their use has been progressively growing only since the mid-90s. Due to their higher resistance to corrosion in comparison to ordinary black steel bars, they have been employed in a wide number of applications worldwide to achieve the durability performance of reinforced concrete structures, especially in extremely corrosive marine environments or when long service lives are required. In this paper, a state of the art on the corrosion resistance of stainless steel bars is reported. In particular, the contribution of Professor Luca Bertolini in this research field is considered. Initially, different testing methods are presented to point out their advantages and limitations and then the results on corrosion behaviour of different grades of stainless steel bars (i.e. austenitic, ferritic and duplex), obtained especially with tests in concrete, are analysed. Afterwards, some of the recent applications of stainless steel bars are illustrated.

Abstract Marine conditions are highly contentious for most materials manifested by the decayed condition of old ships and wrecks (made up of steel/wood). This work investigates the mechanical and corrosion behavior of aluminum-based composites reinforced with 3, 6, and 9 wt% of hybrid reinforcements (SiC, graphite, and ZrO2). It was observed that 3 wt% reinforcement composite had the optimum mechanical properties along with minimum corrosion rate. This composition had the least void contents, and its micro-hardness increased by 27.5% (42.6 VHN) in comparison to that of the unreinforced Al (33.3 VHN). Impact strength of the composite increased by 27.2% for 6 wt% hybrid reinforcement (247.1 J) and then started decreasing, whereas tensile strength of the composite increased by 8% for 9 wt% hybrid reinforcement (124.0 MPa) with respect to that of pure Al. The flexural strength of the pure Al reduced with the addition of hard reinforcing particles. The corrosion behavior of the composite was analyzed in 3.5% NaCl solution (simulating the seawater condition) at room temperature with the help of Tafel polarization curve and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs. It revealed that the 3% reinforced composite had the minimum corrosion current density (0.4 μA) and corrosion rate (0.23 mpy) compared to those of pure Al. The surface morphology of corrosion tested samples indicated the pitting corrosion mechanism.

In this study, shear tests were conducted to investigate the effects of longitudinal reinforcement corrosion on the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members with transverse reinforcement. To this end, a total of eight test specimens were fabricated, and the corrosion rates and anchorage details of rebars were set as test variables. In addition, an accelerated corrosion technique was used to introduce corrosion into the longitudinal reinforcement without corroding shear reinforcement. The test results indicated that the capacities of the specimens in which tension reinforcement was not properly anchored at the ends of the members decreased rapidly at high corrosion rates, whereas the capacities of the specimens in which tension reinforcement was properly anchored by hooks were similar to or higher than those of the non-corroded specimens, despite bond loss caused by corrosion.

Concrete cover cracking induced by reinforcement corrosion is an important indication of the durability limit state for reinforced concrete (RC) structures and can be used to determine the structural service life. The process of rebar corrosion from the beginning of rusting to the occurrence of cover cracking due to corrosion expansion can be divided into two phases: the phase of the free expansion of the corrosion product and the phase of cover cracking. Based on the assumption of the uniform corrosion of the reinforcement, one model for predicting the reinforcement corrosion depth from corrosion initiation to cover cracking was established according to the cylindrical cavity expansion theory. The main factors affecting the reinforcement corrosion depth were analyzed. The main factors affecting the corrosion depth of reinforcement were analyzed. The quantitative sensitivity analysis of the factors influencing the calculation formula shows that the depth of reinforcement corrosion and the thickness of the concrete protective layer are approximately linearly increasing, with a growth rate of 0.2366 μm/mm; the diameter of the reinforcement is approximately linearly decreasing, with a decrease rate of 0.2122 μm/mm; the volume expansion rate of rust is approximately power function decreasing; the overall influence range of the yield criterion selection parameter is 0.15 μm; for the concrete strength grade, the overall influence range is 0.1 μm. The coefficient of determination R2 is 0.87, and the overall accuracy of the calculated formula is high, which can be used to predict the service life of reinforced concrete structures and guide the durability design in combination with the research results on the corrosion rate of reinforcement under different environments.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is a major cause of structural damage that requires repair or replacement. Early detection of steel corrosion can limit the extent of necessary repairs or replacements and costs associated with the rehabilitation works. The ground penetrating radar (GPR) method has been found to be a useful method for evaluating reinforcement corrosion in existing concrete structures. In this paper, GPR was utilized to assess corrosion of steel reinforcement in a concrete slab. A technique for accelerating reinforcement bar corrosion using direct current (DC) power supply with 5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution was used to induce corrosion to embedded reinforcement bars (rebars) in this concrete slab. A 2 GHz GPR was used to assess the corrosion of the rebars. The analysis of the results of the GPR data obtained shows that corrosion of the rebars could be effectively localized and assessed.

The article describes the features of the effect of corrosion of reinforcement on the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete columns in a "standard" fire. On the basis of the standard calculation method, the fire resistance of the column was estimated under a four-sided fire effect taking into account the different duration of the fire. The study examined the operation of the column in a corrosive environment, it was assumed that the initiation of corrosion of concrete and reinforcement will occur after 10 years of exploitation. It was found that the destruction of concrete protective layer 25 mm thick in a medium aggressive environment will occur after 25 years, and the diameter of the reinforcement during this period will decrease by 20%. To compare the results, a reinforced concrete column with a section of 400x400mm was calculated under the influence of a “standard” fire under normal operating conditions and taking into account work in a corrosive environment. The results of heat engineering calculations are presented, where the temperature changes in the reinforcement depending on the heating time and reduction of the protective layer thickness, as well as the change in the diameter of the reinforcement and its effect on the bearing capacity are shown. It has been established that reducing the cross-sectional area of the working reinforcement and reducing the cross-sectional dimensions of the column due to the occurring corrosion processes leads to a decrease in the fire resistance limit on the loss of bearing capacity by 58%.

With the continuous development of the ductility capacity concept for seismic design of bridges, the ductility capacity of many existing bridges does not meet the requirements of the current code for seismic performance because of the low reinforcement ratio and reinforcement corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) piers. Because of their superior mechanical properties and low price, basalt fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) sheets have potential application in the seismic retrofits field of existing bridges. To study the seismic strengthening effect of RC pier columns, scaled specimens with standard reinforcement ratios, with low reinforcement ratios according to the past code and with corroded reinforcements, were designed and manufactured and then wrapped and pasted with BFRP sheets on the plastic hinge areas. Pseudostatic tests were conducted to verify the seismic performance of the strengthened and unstrengthened specimens. Experimental results showed that the ultimate flexural capacity, deformation capacity, and energy dissipation capacity of strengthened RC pier columns were superior. Especially for strengthened specimens with low reinforcement ratios or corrosion reinforcement, their seismic performance could rival than that of columns with standard reinforcement ratios, which showed the advantage of BFRP sheets in the seismic retrofitting of existing bridge piers.

As the main problem of the durability deterioration of concrete structures, the corrosion of steel bars is usually made by the method of electrified corrosion with a short cycle and low cost. However, there is a big difference between the actual corrosion depth and the theoretical corrosion depth after the reinforcement is electrified. In this paper, through the accelerated corrosion test of steel bars, the change law and influence factors of corrosion efficiency of steel bars in concrete simulated pore solution and NaCl solution are studied. The test results show that the corrosion efficiency of reinforcement in the NaCl solution is higher than that in the concrete simulated pore solution, and the corrosion efficiency in the NaCl solution changes in two stages with the corrosion degree of reinforcement. The corrosion efficiency of concrete in the simulated pore solution decreases with the increase of corrosion degree of reinforcement, which is more significant than that in the NaCl solution. Under the same conditions, the corrosion efficiency is higher in the chloride ion solution with high concentration, and the influence of chloride ion concentration change in the simulated pore solution of concrete on the corrosion efficiency is more significant. The corrosion efficiency of reinforcement under low current density is higher than that under high current density.
